Images Festival is seeking a Curatorial Residency & Submissions Coordinator to support the pre-production phase of our 2026–2027 Curatorial Residency Program and the submissions review process for the 2027 Festival.
This is a short-term, part-time contract focused on curatorial facilitation, artist-centred communication, and submissions logistics. Reporting to the Programming Director, this role supports the onboarding and project development of Curators-in-Residence and facilitates the review of artist submissions. The position concludes in late December 2026, when the festival production timelines for the Curatorial Residency begin.
This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, collaborative, motivated, and excited by experimental moving image culture. We are looking for a clear communicator who thrives in a facilitative role and is energized by working alongside critically-engaged artists and curators.
Flexibility with scheduling—including evening and weekend availability—is essential, as the role involves regular engagement with Curators-in-Residence.
Deadline to apply: August 1st, 2026.
